Care of Your Dual-Deck
VCR-2
Placement of Your VCR-2
Place your VCR-2 within three feet, but not on top of your TV.
Place your VCR-2 in a horizontal position only.
Do not place your VCR-2 in extremely hot, cold, humid or dusty places.
See page 41 for specifications.
Do not place your VCR-2 near appliances with electric motors.
Do not put anything on top of your VCR-2.
Keep liquids and food away from your VCR-2.
Cleaning the VCR-2 Cabinet
Dust the surface using a soft cloth. Use the dusting attachment of your vacuum occasionally to remove dust from the ventilation holes on the top, back, sides, and bottom of the cabinet.
Cleaning the Video Heads
Playing poor quality or damaged tapes in your VCR-2 can contaminate the video heads. Use only high quality tapes in your VCR-2.
Dirt which accumulates on the video heads may cause the picture to blur. If this happens, the video heads need to be cleaned. Purchase a non-abrasive head cleaning tape from your video dealer. Be sure to follow the instruc- tions that come with the cleaning tape; excessive use of a cleaning tape can shorten head life. Cleaning by any means other than a cleaning tape will void your warranty.
Care of Video Tapes
Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, extreme heat or extreme cold.
Do not disassemble any cassette. Do not touch the tape.
Rewind tapes after use and store in protective cases.
Remove the record safety tab to prevent recording over previous record- ings.
Humidity Requirements
If your VCR-2 is suddenly moved from a cold to a warm place, moisture may form inside the unit. Before operating, allow at least 2 hours after plugging in the power cord for your VCR-2 to dry completely. Failure to do so may cause damage to your VCR-2 and the tape. See page 41 for specifica- tions.
Service and Warranty
Never open your VCR-2 cabinet or touch the inside parts. To do so is dangerous and may cause damage. Do not try to disassemble your VCR-2 – there are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Servicing of your VCR-2 should be done by an authorized service center.
For service information, see the inside front cover.
Energy Conservation
Save energy. If you will not be using your VCR-2 for a long period of time, unplug the electrical cord.
Shipping Your VCR-2
Carefully pack your VCR-2 in the original packing materials and carton for shipping.
